It seems to me that BB styles are from the past. Really great if you're trying to make music that rests on the classic styles from the past.

However, and most recently, in this past year for example, I have had a difficult time finding styles that matched the song I was trying to work on. Nothing, literally nothing was working well. I ended up having to go a totally different route in several of those cases in order to keep the vibe and groove of the song intact.

I'd like to see more styles like: Singer/Songwriter, INDY rock, and modern country styles. A lot of the compatibility problems dealt with the rhythm and the groove.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

PG Music has said that it helps if you also provide a link or sound sample so they can be sure what is being requested. I've done this in the past and they came through.

I found that the rhythm and sound of modern music are very different from BIAB's RT.
The most crucial thing is that the details of modern music are important, rather than simply playing a guitar.

However, now I can easily create modern music using NI guitars.

Have you experimented with the Style Wizard where you can create a custom BIAB style from any Midi File?

Incredibly easy to do and it's a BIAB style where you can use RealTracks, Loops, SuperMidi, GM midi, third party synths, Sforzando, Coyote, Synthfont, and Kv331 and many other VSTi's.

My testing showed it to be satisfactory in capturing the groove of the modern music midi file I tested with. Marshmello - Alone (Original Mix) (midi by Carlo Prato)

I haven't used any of these.
I find these ideas to be very different from other DAWs.
So I won't be trying them.

Then if you would like to see an improvement in BIAB, it would be helpful if you could cite the DAW you use and give steps that you are willing to follow.
